The fact that Aprilia worked to deliver the same engine and chassis performance and lowered the price at a level that makes the RSV4 R truly competitive means that the bike now stands even better chances to sell when put against the 2010 BMW S1000RR (RSV’s fiercest opponent) or the Japanese square: Honda CBR1000RR, Yamaha R1, Suzuki GSX-R1000 and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R. Still, you must note that all these competing bikes are powered by inline-four cylinder engines of comparable performances, while the RSV4 R brings in a whole new type of engine for this segment. Those who want that will definitely go for the Italian bike.
